Binding to a JNDI context path in java:comp/env

[pcross616]

I have an issue with binding to the JNDI tree within the comp/env context. This is what I am trying to do for example. (BTW: This was all running in Orion, but now are migrating to JBOSS)

InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
context.bind("java:comp/env/test/abc", "test_binding");

when it trys to bind to the path in the jndi context, a naming exception occurs..

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: test not bound

I know its not bound because I am trying to bind it there. What am I missing to make JBOSS work with binding a object to a JNDI path, programaticly.

Thanks in advance..

If you bothered to read the Javadoc for javax.naming.Context.bind(), you'd see it says All intermediate contexts and the target context (that named by all but terminal atomic component of the name) must already exist

That's what documentation's for, you know?

Do see that...

Thats strange then why does it work with the fscontext jar. Which is the default JNDI file system implmentation.?

[dannyyates]

Errr... because fscontext doesn't obey the spec?! Sheesh!

Just because you've got away lucky with fscontext and Orion not obeying the spec, doesn't mean you should JBoss to let you be so lax!
